Ms International, Fitness International and Figure International

Iris Kyle won the Ms International for the second time running and for the third time in her career on the weekend when she brought her best ever shape to Columbus to convincingly take first, second and third if it were available. Iris showed up in her usual ripped condition but this time her muscles were fuller than ever. It was probably her best physical showing to date and it was clear as day that she was going to take home the spoils as soon as she stepped on stage. Her calves seemed bigger than ever and the details throughout her glutes were unmatched by any male or female competitor over the weekend.

Former International winner, Yaxeni Oriquen-Garcia came in second noticeably smoother than her previous bests. Her front and side poses were of international standards but her rear shots were as smooth as buttered bread. The runner-up placement she received was a belated Christmas present.

Heather Policky’s debut at the Arnold was as inviting as cheesecake to a Weight Watchers celebration. Symmetry and muscularity was on the top of Heather’s pecking order and it pushed through many of the favorite contenders to nestle into a comfortable third position. The size and presentation that Policky presented was one of a professional veteran but for those who do not know, this is only her first year in the pro ranks. At this rate she will continue to evolve and dominate shows like this in the future.
